This is not really my family only by marriage to my Aunt Vivian but it makes it so much more interesting. I think the McKannas have a wonderful story to tell. Bonnie

You have the wedding certificate of Hiliary and Vivian–1924, in Cheney, Washington. The witnesses are Robert J. Willis and Miriam McDonald. You have two pictures following that show Hiliary and Vivian with two others, Miriam and “Guy.” “Guy” is my father, Robert J. Willis, II. He was 19 years old in this picture. At that time he was beginning his second year of studies as an undergraduate at the University of Washington in Seattle. He did not attend school during the summer quarter of 1924 nor the fall quarter. Instead he worked as a dockhand in Seward, Alaska, where Bob McKanna, Hiliary’s just-older brother, was warfinger (dock manager). My father lived with Bob and Theo McKanna whenever he took a semester off to earn money for college. He did not graduate till June, 1930.
